We speak to the webmaster of Sportnetwork's, DonnyRoversNet, Nick Raynor ahead of the clash of the Rovers, between Tranmere and Doncaster. Tranmere hope to take revenge on Donvcaster today after a dissappointing away draw at Chesterfield after a last gasp equaliser.

Before the crucial game against Doncaster Rovers, I speak to the webmaster of the Doncaster Rovers site on Sportnetwork, Nick Raynor. You can find his site here.  Everyone at Total Tranmere thanks Nick for taking his time in helping us out.

1. Tell us a bit about yourself; Name, age, how long a fan of your club etc…
A: I'm Nick, I'm 16 and I've supported Doncaster for ages. I get to as many games as I can but with exams and the fact that being 16 doesn't pay well, I am limited to the amount of games I can get to.

2. What was the first football match you went to and what was the score?
A:
It was a local derby against Halifax one Tuesday night. I remember that it was really cold which put in a bad mood, and the fact we lost 2-1 made it even worse.

3. What is the best and worst match you have attended?

A: The best for me was this season actually, when we beat Hull 1-0 at our place. We had nearly 10,000 there that day compared to the average 5,000 and it was an amazing atmophere and the fact that we won was great. The worst and most humiliating defeat I have ever seen was when Sheffield Wednesday hammered us 4-0 at our place. There was, again, about 10,000 there, but the atmosphere wasn't great as you could expect.

4. Where do you expect to finish this season?
A:
Earlier I thought we could nick a playoff spot and go for a third promotion, but I thinkt top half is the best we can hope for now.

5. Where do you think Tranmere will finish?
A: In the playoff spots but, even though it sickens me to say it, I think Sheffield Wednesday will win the playoffs.

6. How did you do last season?
A:
Well we won the league - doesn't get much better than that.

7. Who is the player Tranmere should watch out for when we play you?
A:
Micheal McIndoe is on great form this season and is a constant threat from midfield BUT seems to have had a fall out with Dave Penney. He is the top scorer for Rovers this season and links up well with Gregg Blundell. Tim Ryan at left back is having an awesome season too.

8. Whose the Tranmere player you think you should watch out for?
A:
Im not too sure... but Iain Hume is doing well this season isn't he?

9. What's your team like? Strong areas/players, weak areas/players, manager + backroom staff etc…..
A: It's a very balanced team. We have no weak links at all and it must be a nightmare for Penney to pick the team. We are short on strikers but now we have 3 thanks to the signing of Lewis Guy who looks like one for the future. Penney and the backroom staff are fantastic and will be at the club for the duration. Most managers and his staff would be if they got promoted twice in a row and then pushed for a third.

10.  Make a prediction for when Doncaster play you
A: Hmm...I don't think Doncaster have the scoring power to beat you, especially with Jamie McSporran injured...2-0 to Tranmere.
